    The sermon will explore the story of Jesus appearing to two disciples after his resurrection, emphasizing that his teachings and blessings are for all believers, not just the chosen few.

    Hello Church! Today we’re going to look at a story from the Gospel of Luke which took place the same day as Jesus’ resurrection. In fact, the resurrected Christ appears to two disciples walking towards a town called Emmaus. We’re going to discover that our God is a cruciform God, which means the ...read more

    Jesus didn't just come back for "doubting Thomas" - first he came back for the other "doubting ten" when they did not believe Mary Magadalene. Jesus, the non anxious presence, doesn't leave anyone behind.

    “The doors were locked for fear of the Jews” Bolt it. Double lock it. Put the chain on. Fasten the padlock. “The doors were locked for fear of the Jews” Let me share with you two stories that happened within two years of each other in the second decade of the Twentieth ...read more

    Revelation 19:11-16 paints a powerful picture of Christ’s second coming, where He will return not as a humble servant, but as the mighty King of kings, ready to establish His eternal rule.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Revelation 19:11-16 Supporting Texts: Matthew 25:31-34, Revelation 1:7, Philippians 2:9-11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Zechariah 14:4 INTRODUCTION: The return of Jesus Christ is a defining moment in the history of the world. ...read more

    May the Fourth has come to be known for Star Wars fans as a day to celebrate their sci-fi obsession. Some people view the Holy Spirit as a force, like in Star Wars. But the Holy Spirit is God... God with us and in us, empowering us to do the work and accomplish the mission set before us.

    INTRODUCTION: A couple of Sundays ago was Easter Sunday for those of us who follow Christ and celebrate our risen Lord and those celebrating Spring with the annual hunting of the Easter Eggs left by the Easter bunny. But, to my surprise (or perhaps my horror), I found out that a different group ...read more

    This catchy slogan has appearred on commercial Christmas material for ages. The implications of the statement bothers me. What does it mean? What is it’s implication for us?

    The story goes an angel appears at a faculty meeting and tells the dean that in return for his unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord will reward him with his choice of infinite wealth, wisdom or beauty. Without hesitating, the dean selects infinite wisdom. "Done!" says the angel, and ...read more

    How does the Bride of Christ appear to the world today? Has she lost her beauty? The way to attract the world to her today is through glorious living.

    THE BRIDE OF CHRIST THEME: THE IMAGE OF THE BRIDE OF CHRIST IS PURE AND BEAUTIFUL. Here comes the bride, here comes the bride, the bride makes her way through the doors into the auditorium. Everyone is excited to see the beautiful bride make her entrance. But wait, what is this, what is ...read more

    Before Abraham was born, I AM. At first blush it seems a strange thing for Jesus to say. Even Jesus’grammar would appear to be up the wall. But is it?

    19-01-03 Stody This year we plan to base the themes of our services in Stody around some of the "I AM" statements of Jesus in the Gospel according to St. John 1. Before Abraham was born, I AM (Jn 8:58) 2. I am the Bread of life (Jn 6:35) 3. I am the ...read more

    Christ’s cursing of the fig tree and "cleansing" of the temple caution us about living our lives by mere appearances and trusting in anything other than Jesus.

    Appearances can be deceiving. I was reminded of this several years ago when I was waiting in line at a McDonalds with two of my sons. A guy came into McDonalds who looked really suspicious. He had long hair, tattoos everywhere, several body piercings, and he just looked scary. This guy seemed to be ...read more

    In His second resurrection appearance, Jesus commissions His disciples and breathes the Holy Spirit on them. Will we let Jesus breath His Spirit into us also?

    There have been times when the events of life have created what we sometimes see as hopeless situations. No situation is hopless when Jesus appears on the scene.

    NEVER WITHOUT HOPE – Part 1 Mark 5:21-43 INTRODUCTION: The “maiden flight” of my first model plane was a disaster. It crashed and was beyond repair—hopeless.

    Who Is Melchizedek? Series

     | 12,231 views

    Melchizedek seems like a mysterious figure in Genesis as he makes a brief appearance and then disappears until the New Testament. This sermon looks at the communion of Christ foreshadowed in Genesis.

    Who is Melchizedek? Genesis chapter 14 begins by detailing how the five cities of the plains rebelled against the king of Elam. We aren’t given the prior history except that these cities served this king and paid tribute to prevent being destroyed. It was not uncommon in those days for a defeated ...read more

    There are at least three times God appears on a mountain. Each time, the message was different... but each time the message was the same. Do you know what that message was?

    (Sermon Was From Our Tent Revival) OPEN: A Revival can take place only when people fully understand who God is. A few of years back, someone in Florida launched a billboard campaign, sponsored by an anonymous client, who tried to do just that: help people understand who God was. The campaign ...read more

    It doesn’t take long at this dinner party before the chaos breaks out, this time through the surprising appearance of Mary, pouring a ludicrously expensive jar of perfume.

    We’re turning to John’s Gospel today, which, quite frankly, is a little unnerving for me, as I find John’s Gospel more difficult to deal with than the other three John retells the story of Jesus in such a way that things are rarely as they appear to be. Jesus speaks of being born ’from above’ and ...read more
